Neighborhood Mosaic
The Mosaic District offers sophisticated urban living and the ultimate live-play-work environment. This vibrant mixed-use development opened in 2012 and offers 31 acres of prime retail, hospitality, residential, and office space. With pedestrian-friendly streets and well-maintained parks, it's a wonderful place to set down roots without missing any of the action.
The development is located in Merrifield, a census-designated place in Fairfax County and a suburb of Washington, D.C. The community encompasses 2.7 square miles next to I-66 and I-495. Home to 22,072 residents as of 2023, it is one of the most desirable places to live in Northern Virginia with gorgeous homes, shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities.
Located about 12 miles from the nation's capital, Merrifield has been revitalized over the last 10 years. Once an up-and-coming community, it is now one of the trendiest areas in Fairfax County due to the growth of the Mosaic District with continuous investments in public roads, parking space, and other infrastructure by the Community Development Authority (CDA).
